DHS's Office of Industry Partnership was hacked by a group called "Department of Peace" and info about ICE contracts with over 6,000 companies is now published on @ddosecrets.org!

[iampytest1@infosec.exchange]

Just adding something I noticed: these grants and contract are part of DHS' Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (LRBAA) program:

The Science and Technology Directorate's (S&T) Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (LRBAA) is a standing, open invitation to the scientific and technical communities to fund pioneering research and development (R&D) projects in support of our nation’s security.

That doesn't answer your question, though.

@micahflee Thank you for making this info available! Disheartening how many universities are listed...

[skua@mastodon.social]

@micahflee
Anyone got the geeks to set up a bot that posts the names of 10 of the companies once every 12 hours?

@iampytest1 Yeah, looking at the contract, it seems more InfoSec research related for DHS during Biden era.

@micahflee@infosec.exchange Uhhh... looks like DHS may have had their contracts system get popped during a penetration test in 2025?

[Edit: LOL]

[cinebox@masto.hackers.town]

@phillip @manchicken @micahflee Probably from CISA, which is under DHS for some reason.

@micahflee Well well well, move over WikiLeaks!

[risottobias@toot.risottobias.org]

@micahflee this is awesome!

[terrorbite@meow.social]

@julie @micahflee that means they were probably aware of the vulnerability that allowed this leak to happen… and then they didn't fix it (nor did they remove the data that the pentesters injected into their production database, apparently!)

[k3ym0@infosec.exchange]

@micahflee oh no, how terrible.

[havvyhh2@mas.to]

@micahflee glorious!!

[avincentinspace@furry.engineer]

@micahflee I cannot help but notice the "Contractors" file is about three times the size of the "Contracts" file.

[micahflee@infosec.exchange]

@julie huh, this is quite interesting

Forking Reply

"Frequency of bot posts" - ideally something that could be swapped over to "User selected frequency of receiving posts by a bot".

For me, if I checked my notifications after 2 days away from Mastodon and found 48 posts by a bot I'd unFollow.

But really I have no idea where a sweet spot might be found.

@skua Posts go in your home feed not notifications.

[skua@mastodon.social]

@dalias
You're right.
And on my home feed I'm choosing to unFollow some accounts as I want a Home feed that moves pretty slowly - ideally slowly enough that I "often" get to see posts by my most favourite accounts.

Thinking multiple bots could work.

User gets to choose frequency.

FYI - some of the more perplexing names on this list:

The Linux Foundation
National Public Radio, Inc.

@manchicken @micahflee it looks like that started in 2014 and ended in 2018?
if i'm reading the dataset correctly. Still not a good look
